Disclaimer: I own nothing of Bones. If I did, Bones would have said yes to Booth for trying their relationship.
A/N: I know I haven't added another chapter in awhile. My excuse is that I really haven't felt like writing and I have terrible writers block, but over spring break I wrote another chapter. Here it is. I'm going to try to deticate a couple a days a week after school to write since I have no sport this season. I'm thinking Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you for your patience and your lovely reviews.
We are headed to my house after Bones and I got some of her stuff at her apartment. I glance in her direction because she was really quiet. I smile. Her head is resting against the head rest with her mouth partially open. They gave her pain killers and she was out like a light. She couldn't be more beautiful.
Looking at her, I wonder how she could let herself get beat up. She knows martial arts for goodness sakes. Why didn't she fight?
Putting all my thoughts away, I pull up to my house and kill the engine. I get out of the car and head to my door with Bones' stuff. I put it in the guest bedroom and head back to the car for Bones. I open the passenger side door and carefully unhook her seatbelt so she doesn't wake up. I gently lift her sleeping form out of the car and to my guest bedroom. I pull back the covers and lay her in it.
My stomach growled reminding me I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. I glance back at Bones and head into the kitchen to order pizza. On the way into the kitchen to get the phone, I stub my toe.
"Son of a bitch," exclaimed grabbing my toe and dancing around. Then I remembered that Bones was sleeping. I tiptoed back to the doorway of my guest room to see if I woke her up with my toe stubbing. I smiled; she was still out like a light. She had gone through a lot today and needed her rest. I went back in the kitchen to grab the phone to order a pizza.
The Pizza comes, I pay the delivery boy and sit and eat pondering the reasons why she let this happen. Maybe she didn't feel like hurting him. Maybe she thought she deserved it because if this is what she thought I would have to keep reminding her she didn't deserve to be treated like that at all. I hated to think of this last reason, but maybe she loved him. I bite off another piece of Pizza and put it back in the box thinking. I pause, hearing soft footfalls headed this direction. I look to my left to see Bones slowly walking towards me. She stands looking at the pizza. She's so hesitant, like she's not sure if she is welcome to sit down and eat some pizza. I pull the chair out beside me, "Come sit down, Bones," I say gently.
She nods, but sits down next to me. I grabbed the extra plate and put a slice of pizza on it and slid it in front of her.
"Thank you," she says simply, but with a hint of grief, not meeting my eyes.
I face her. "How are you feeling?"
She swallows her bite then answers, "I still feel really sore but I'm not as tired as I was before."
"Well I'm glad you got some rest, because you really need it."
She doesn't say anything and finishes the rest of her pizza. She gets up and heads back to her room.
"Bones," I say softly. "You know I'm here if you need anything or you just want to talk."
"Thanks, Booth," she says solemnly as she turns to head to the spare room again.
Okay I have no idea where to go from here. If anybody has any ideas, please PM me or leave it in your review.
Please review. It helps me improve my writing.
